Benefits of technology

[0006]It is an object of the present invention to provide a pillow that stably supports the back of the head and the side of the head while enabling a sleeping person to roll over smoothly.

Problems solved by technology

Further, this portion is not resilient.
Accordingly, the above prior art pillow does not function to sufficiently support the head.
Further, the head support portion does not deform sufficiently so as to follow movement of the head in the left and right directions.
Thus, a sleeping person cannot smoothly move his or her head when rolling over.
This makes it difficult for a sleeping person to roll over smoothly.
Moreover, the side of the head is only supported by the upper surface of the side portions when a sleeping person rolls over.
Thus, the side of the head cannot be stably supported.
